Haha, this is the Washington Post's rewrite of the Boston Globe story. When I looked at the page, the ad to the right of the story was selling "Converative T-shirts," it featured a hot chick wearing a shirt declaring "IMAGINE... NO LIBERALS." just thought that was a real nice touch.
here's the Post story:
U.S. President George Bush is aggressive about declaring his right to ignore laws he believes infringe on his power as commander in chief, a report says.
The president allegedly has disobeyed more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, including military rules and regulations, affirmative-action provisions, requirements that Congress be told about immigration services problems and protections for nuclear regulatory officials, the Boston Globe reported.
Some legal scholars say they believe that Bush's theory about his own powers goes too far, the newspaper said.
"There is no question that this administration has been involved in a very carefully thought-out, systematic process of expanding presidential power at the expense of the other branches of government," Phillip Cooper, a Portland State University law professor, told the Globe. "This is really big, very expansive, and very significant."
